Cape Wrath is derived from the old norse for "Turning Point", highlighting its significance 1,000s of years ago to Viking explorers from Scandinavia. It was once a populated
community but now its a rough and rugged terain.

It is a site of special scientific interest (SSSI) and a special protection area for birds with 10s of 1000s of breeding birds on its cliffs including puffins, razor bills, fulmars,
kittiwakes and guillemots.

It's a Ministry of Defence training area for British & International troops. Cape Wrath's remote location & difficult terrain combined with the extreme nature of
weather conditions makes it an excellent enviroment to test someone's ability to survive.
